Along the way there is a daring rescue at sea, a chase of illegal Spanish trawlers, a pirate attack, and a camel journey into the desert. In this sequel to the best-selling novel SUBMARINE OUTLAW, Alfred undertakes a new voyage in his homemade submarine that takes him from his native Newfoundland into the Mediterranean in search of fabled Atlantis. From a daring rescue of drowning fishermen to becoming involved in a skirmish between Canadian coastguard ships and Spanish fishing trawlers, from escaping an exploding WWII sea mine to colliding with a partially submerged container filled with toys, from turning the chase on bumbling pirates to an unscheduled camel trek into the desert, Alfred' s submarine voyage brings him closer and closer to the legendary island until one moonless night he finds himself a little too close for comfort. Alfred must be both practical and trust his premonitions on many occasions to stay safe on this ambitious and far-reaching adventure. In 'Journey to Atlantis,' Alfred and his crew - his dog Hollie and his second mate the seagull Seaweed - sail across the Atlantic and enter the Mediterranean in search of the fabled lost island of Atlantis.
